For the price it should be stellar
I opened the box and said OMG out loud. This monitor is truly spectacular to look at. It's just beautiful.
Too bad it dosen't work. Initially I hooked this up to my PC via Display port and I fell in love. So much screen real estate. So easy to multi task. Games that support this resolution looked wonderful!
But I would walk away and the monitor would go to sleep. After that...good luck waking it up. Many times of unplugging and re-plugging the monitor into power and finally it would start working again. Walk away again and the same thing happens. Beyond frustrating that Samsung won't address this issue that MANY people have. Give it a Google!
Shortly after that it would randomly start turning off while I was using it! Press the power button...nothing. Unplug, re-plug...over and over until it would finally kick back on, work for 5-10 minutes and just shut off again. I tried everything. New power cable, display port cable, HDMI cable, I went as far as swapping video cards...it all comes back to the monitor.
At this price point, I expected this thing to be flawless. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. Wait for Samsung to get it together and address the issues. Maybe the next version will be better....until then...I'll stay very far away from Samsung monitors.
